Its funny cuz they aren't even remotely unique. They're basically all the same rocky wasteland... just different colors and status effects. All the same "abandoned mining facility" or "abandoned cryo lab"... literally all with the same layouts, same exact rooms, same cave systems, same locked doors. Legitimately, identical. This game is beyond insulting.

And not all of them are planets to boot. Some are moons of planets. It’s either one or the other, cant have both

Exactly

This went way lower than my expectations lol

“It just works”, brother

I completely agree. I play Elite Dangerous and while I thoroughly enjoy the game for what it is, I am always perplexed at all the posts of people basking in the glory of exploring the galaxy as if they are really doing it and posting picture after picture of the same proceduraly generated barren rocky planet.

Yeah, once you start bringing real life into it, there's no comparison. Going on a casual walk through the park and seeing a squirrel is more exciting than 99% of "exploration" in video games

I’m playing a violin for for you.

@@meal_team_six Elite is more about space exploration itself as opposed to the planets. The feeling of pointing your ship in one direction, turning your thrusters on & enjoying the journey. Elite's space is populated with numerous anomalies and dynamic events, and the immersion is top tier. The sound design is second to none tbh

Everyone's concerns were spot on Todd LOL. I don't hate this game, had some good quests and combat moments, but wow the exploration is kind of just objectively fucking bad. It's incredibly segmented with endless loading and when you're actually on a planet there's virtually NOTHING there 99% of the time. Maybe a temple to grab an ENTIRELY useless power, or a randomly generated pirate base that's based on one of about 3 templates the entire universe uses. Once you've explored 1 planet in this game you've literally explored them all. I really couldn't believe how bad this aspect of the game turned out and considering exploration/immersion were the best things about previous bethesda games, this is a pretty massive problem. Even the actual cities feel like they're lacking, there's only 4 of them and there's way less worthwhile questlines in those areas than I was expecting. Realistically in terms of worthwhile handcrafted content, there's about 45-50 hours worth between the faction and major side quests/main quest. & even the main quest is about 50% repetitive garbage. Even with all these huge flaws I'd give this game a 7 as I did have fun with it, but I'm truly shocked anybody gave it a 9 or 10.

dont forget more boring

In my experience it still seemed big (I have less of a problem with loading screens), but it just feels very barebones and old.

@@accelerator8558 LOL the devs or someone is actually going on Starfield reviews on steam and telling people, it's MEANT to be empty, but that's not boring.

@@Cloud_Seeker yup, but even Obsidian fell from grace. Look at Outer Worlds, straight dawgshit game imo.

@@XanVicious The Outer Worlds was nothing to write home about but funny enough it was still far more memorable than Starfield for me - at least you can feel like the devs tried to play to their strengths and make the most of their very limited budget and come up with some decent dialogue with tons of options and reactivity. Starfield on the other hand is offensively forgettable in just about every aspect; the lore, story, world building, factions, companions and characters in general - it's all so risk-free and lifeless to the point where it feels like an AI generated the whole game.

@@chessophiler Can't wait for POE 2

And the DEI is off the charts

I dunno. I've felt that way about them since Skyrim. I actually felt pretty immersed in Oblivion's world due to how creatively written the quests and characters were. Not only is it just in the writing, but what you do in the quests too. I don't think there's a single quest in Skyrim that doesn't just include some variation of going through a dungeon to get some sort of item, or kill some sort of person. That's pretty much every quest in the game. While Oblivion is regularly a bit more interesting, such as stalking NPC's for an insane person, having simple wave defense quests where NPC's go with you and you have different outcomes depending on if they survive, a quest involving a cursed house in which you have to guide an NPC to open a secret room where you fight a necromancer, or the quest where a boat is stolen when you're sleeping on it and you have to clear it out of bandits to return. It was stolen because the innkeeper made up some lie about a hidden treasure to attract visitors.' Even if we ignore the actual writing, dialogue, etc. The quests in Skyrim are pretty much all the same from from what they require of the player. While Oblivion made an effort to be more creative in its quest objectives.

@@pagatryx5451 Oblivion is my favorite game of all time and I agree that Skyrim's quests were lackluster, especially the guilds. However Skyrim still managed to present a compelling world full of lore and detail. The same goes for Fallout 4 and to a much lesser extent 76. Starfield being so disjointed and bland it feels like there is no point to anything I'm doing other than what I make up for myself in my own head. Someone recently told me that the game was broken up into several different studios in places like Cambodia and it shows. There was no creative vision for this, just product specs and expectations of scale to put in the marketing like having 1000 planets.

​@@pagatryx5451 Skyrim still gave an immersive world with its wide myriad of terrains and regions and some of its more unique dungeons, especially the dwemer ruins. There were also pretty fun quests, such as the daedric ones. then there is the fact that skyrim at its core is still an TES game, meaning that its world is by default more interesting than starfield's.

​@@pagatryx5451Oblivion was decent but Bethesda hasn't made a decent world since Morrowind and they lost all the staff that made TES by the time Morrowind shipped.

That's sort of what I expected. I expected it to be a mix between Fallout 4 and The Outer Worlds. I expected the regions around New Atlantics, Akila, and other regions on the same planets or multiple other planets to have areas that are handcrafted. There is not a single handcrafted map it seems though, so one of my favorite aspects of Bethesda games is just gone.

This is a good point.

who cares it was fun.

@@eabutler6861 I care. I and others who appreciate a good story. If you're someone who just wants to turn their brain off and become a space wizard, then more power to you. But I had more fun playing Skyrim and being the Dragonborn than I ever will have being the Starborn.

@@BETRvids the game was good and the story wasn't great but it was original and made the ng+ interesting.....I didn't spend 100 hours in my first playthrough which made the ng+ more rewarding....they tried something new and I liked it....let's be honest most video game stories are terrible.,..the lore is what most people like....it was an ok game... Far from terrible

@@eabutler6861 I wouldn't call the Starborn story original. Giving you some random vision of things you don't understand? Mass Effect. A mysterious relic that nobody understands? Also Mass Effect. Even at the end, if you ask who made them, the Unity entity refers to them as the Creators, and refuses to elaborate. Oh, so the Reapers? Now yes, going into NG+ had some interesting prompts, especially if you completed content on a previous playthrough and just want to see what your character will say. But a few interesting dialogue prompts doesn't make up for an overall boring story. There was no Alduin to fight, no Reapers to stop, no Nihilanth to end, and no real final foe or world devastating, realm shattering apocalypse that you need to forestall. And no, I don't accept that the Hunter or the Emissary are your main villains / enemies. I don't accept that the relics and the powers they grant people exist solely for the Starborn to fight amongst themselves. That's a stupid plot! And... I disagree with you on the lore. There are certainly lore snippets around and things for us to discover, but most of what I've picked up is completely forgettable because none of it is relevant to anything that's happening out in the universe. Even the Starborn story itself is completely self contained and you never have a reason to bring it up anywhere else. The average joe on his day to work, fighting terrormorphs or dealing with stolen Hope Tech ships, would never notice there's a multiverse war going on between magical relic hunters because it literally never comes up. And nobody is afraid to talk to you, to fly away from your ship, or even to flee at the sight of you when you land in the space port. An obviously alien vessel with unknown weapon capabilities, and a cloaked stranger stepping out from a starry background and giving off so much radiation that people think you fly too close to suns? Yeah, I think people might be a bit more afraid of you! But nobody reacts to literally anything. So there's zero point in remembering anything because it never, ever comes up. Understand, I'm not some salty gamer who is just trying to disagree with every point you make just because 'lol hating Starfield is fun'. There are massive flaws with the story and how this all plays out, and I hate how lazy it was all done and how nobody in the universe knows or cares about anything that is happening. And I absolutely hate that for all the tedium, the fetch quests, and the bullshit we have to put up with in the name of 'questing' and 'becoming the Starborn', we find that it literally all amounts to jack squat because there's no final foe, no new challenging puzzles, no... nothing. No innovation or careful planning went into creating and designing the temples where we get our powers, Bethesda thought it would be fun to make us have to fly to Vladimir every time we wanted to get a new relic site, instead of... you know, just transmitting it to us or something. Getting the relics involves fighting the same enemies in the same spots on every NG+ playthrough, etc. etc. It's just all... so... lazy... and boring.

A bit less No man sky and Star Citizen ? Sorry what are you talking about, starfield is not a little bit as No Man Sky and Star Citicen because one thing that starfield is: Walking / Loading Screen / Talking / Crap NPC interaction Simulator with a very Poor writen Story and side story lines and gameplay is outa the past, Meanwhile Starcitizen is a Real Space Simulation game that has basicly no Loading screens and is still not finishedd. No man sky is a Real Crafting / Survival / Space Exploration game without Loading Screens between a Solar System, you can enter a planet and fly to the next one without any loading screen, you can fly to a planet and enter in real time the planet at any point you want as fast or as slow as you want. Starfield has a lil bit of everything but not anything good in ther game, 8 years they made this game and all they made is this ? how long they had time to make Skyrim or Fallout 3 ... the amount of quests or Anything else is so much higher in this two games (ok skyrim with ther items is not as good) ? So since Fallout 4 they made this game and all they did was a downgraded Fallout 4 multiplyed by 1000 minus 990 ? allone the time of building the entire Fallout 4 map cost more time then making Starfield citys combined. You can just see how Soulless the citys was made in Starfield, nothing that show you why a city is there in the first place or the highlight of the city, instead of that it feels like more a Really boring City that was very fast made without any ideas about how the city will work, you can replace all citys in starfield with other locations and wola ... nothing will change.

@@allxtend4005go outside

I recommend PatricianTV’s video, he points out that the dev team didn’t have a central design doc and that makes a lot of sense. You can see how all the bits of the game don’t fit together well, can’t seem to agree on the level of realism or what power level the player is at.

Man, been to Vegas many times for business. I can't stay there very long. Quite an obnoxious town imo. And I even love blackjack and almost always make money on it. Just the constant lights and music and people. Wakeup hung over in the morning, last thing I want is a bunch of flashy lights and annoying music playing the second I step out of my room

At least in Vegas when you spend enough money and/or know the right people you don't wait in those lines. So.. point and match vegas.

Great analogy 😉

These fools were expecting a massive planet-wide city, Cities Skylines, Call of Duty and No man sky all in one game. That's a little bit too much.

..... ....you stay in lines in Vegas ? .. really ?! ......

Everywhere you can see it like, one of those plastic viewers kids get - you click a button and you see a black slide, click it again and you see a slide of a cool scene with flashy colours. But that's all it does, show you the same 12 pictures just with different colours overlaid. That is Starfield in a nutshell! Skyrim is 100 times better, in fact despite this I would go nuts for a Skyrim sequel or an Oblivion prequel even.

That's also the benefit of history. And if you have no history with the franchise, it's still there with the benefit of lore. You can learn and hear so much about the world, it's history, it's gods, it's geography, and Skyrim itself (the place) has a culture and style to it too, and it all just sucks you in. The problem with a new IP is making it interesting, and Todd didn't really make any effort to do that. He wrote some questlines where, you know, stuff happens, and made a few cities. There's very little else to it. It actually reminds me of alot of Japanese RPGs; I love that genre too, but so many of their games only have the present, and the ancient past of 1000 years ago--absolutely fuck all has happened in between those times.

@BWMagus you make a good point. If starfield was the 5th entry in the series of this IP, there would be tons of Easter eggs and lore. Well, hopefully there would be.

I completely agree, unfortunately I never played Morrowind, but I sank hundreds of hours into Skyrim(more so with mods). I played Starfield the week it was released and gradually lost interest.

The first time I went into the Oblivion Gate I think they were called and came out with all of this extremely powerful loot I was hooked. It actually felt like you were crawling into hell and at the time it was tense because they were so powerful but it was so worth it. I was fairly young at the time and I borrowed my friends copy and I beat it but his game was scratched so it would freeze right before the ending and it was like five or six years before I saw the ending to that game

You gotta go play morrowind if you want a game that gives the player cool loot. And this is not rose tinted glasses opinion, I only first played the game in 2021.

Heck even In fallout 4 i started collecting all the "unique" weapons and items in the game and put them on display at my base. Though I have to admit Bethesda needs more work in its gun department because holy molly mw2019s guns were so spot on, the looks,sounds, and details. Also it pains me to say that even their own cod game that was set in space felt more alive with its weapon art style, unique planets with gimics like mercury where you had to time when to move as to not get fried by the sun's rays. Being able to customize your own jackals weapons and paint job. The tools at your disposal in the campaign like the grapple hook being used to pull enemies to you to rip their air hoses off, or to close the gap between you and them. Hacking hostile robots to take control of them in first person or self destuct. Anti-grav grenades to make enemies float in pressurized areas, to get the drop on them. Shooting windows to watch as enemie soldiers get sucked into the vacuum of space. Seeker mines throw one of these bad boys and watch as they run at the enemies to blow them up, need I say more.

The legacy. The ship stuck in a place where no ships could go. The crew made it able to well just float in there and orbit. When you join the fleet they mention how they lost rooks doing something else trying to find stuff in the legacy. Ect story continues. I mean very good

I certainly went "pirating" to play this game and unfortunately waste many hours of my life before realizing I wasn't having fun at all. Thank god I didn't spend 70$ though, too broke for that shit.

​@@matthewcarroll2533yeah, that's a 15$ indie game at best.

The one piece is real

The invisible walls kinda don't matter because there is nothing to explore or see there anyway. Other than the same 12 generic dungeon poi's you can see from the planets orbit you can land it. It gets real bad when some planets have 3 exact copies of the same lab, and when I say exact I mean exact, every loot and slate etc is identical. This is even more immersion breaking when you find the exact same poi on like 10 diff planets and its the same every time.

At one point surveying, I encountered some sesmic activity around a recesson in the ground. Totally expected a sarlacc pit or giant worm boss....nope.

@@matthewcleveland1114 I hated that! It was just yet another thing to slow my traversal! I’m already dealing with not being able to hold that much, not being able to run very long before running out of oxygen, a booster jet pack that only sends me up rather than forward and having to wait the painful length of time to slowly float back down so I can run again… Now I have this seismic activity that makes me stumble and stops me from walking at all for another few seconds!

If u think this is bad, your kids would have already brought you grandkids with anthems loading screen 😂

Same.

one of my kids was a miscarriage so 🤷🏻‍♂️

Better off playing cyberpunk 2077.

​@@AC-hj9tvI'm so sorry

10/10 for a game with THIS many insanely obvious issues is INSANITY. I usually NEVER humour the paid reviews conspiracy shit, but goddamn it's looking kind of like a viable answer for this madness lol

And yet I say this on Facebook and I get attacked. This game feels like the prime example of a game designed by a corporation.

@@Theautisticlibertarian Bethesda fans tend to act more like a cult than typical fans. Thats probably why the haters are tearing into them so hard this time. Becauae this time it's not a 20 year old beloved IP and they didn't have any good ideas to take from other games and now its so obvious they are bad at this that no one can honestly deny it. So we're just hammering the fandom for being complicite in Howard's creative theft and they're doubling down and becoming more devout cultists. Id just say away unless you've got experience dealing with religious nuts because that's what we're dealing with.

And it's kinda funny Todd talks about how us going on Moon wasn't boring. Yea of course it wasn't, cause that is real life. The dude is literally comparing an experience in game vs real life and wonder why people are bored in a game that doesn't even do the simulation properly but just sprinkle procedurally generated assets around and call it a day. Games should always be first and foremost fun and interesting with artistic touch. Realism has so many shortcomings and grows old very quick because we can just live life to experience it.

​@@GnohmPolaeon.B.OniShartzdaggerfall holds up better than skyrim Let that marinate

I recently started playing fallout 4 again, and after about 30 mods added im loving it. And that sums up the Bethesda experience for me. They're good at making a foundation, but modders have to come in and build the house.

Dragonborn, starborn, vaultborn. Todd asked chatgpt to write the script

Thats probably because it is. The atlas in nms literally brings you into a new universe JUST like the unity device.

@@Daxel134 yeahh...Starfield's 8 years in dev, NMS comes out 7 years ago...games can (& often should) take inspiration from each other but in this case the results were underwhelming 😞😞

Todd's space-wank should be the real title. It's what you get when you've just finished NMS and you want to make your own NMS game. But you also required 16 times the detail.

My exact thought too

Empty planets speak for themselves...they are empty, like empty rooms. When they went to the moon they didn't go thinking ''there's nothing there'', are you a moron?. They went for many reasons, to experiment, for geological reasons, to prepare for further expeditions, to gather mineral samples etc....what are you like, read a book now and again, use that double IQ?

N... no. You really think people on the moon aren't bored because "they might not make it back"??? Like I'm not even going to give you any actual reasons you got this

@@Pocketnaut I think if i had any doubts at my being stranded on the moon...BORED wouldn't enter into it, Panic, anxiety or sheer terror might 1st come to mind, but bored...would be the least of my concerns. What would you be hoping for, a crossword puzzle?.

The hubris in the implication that a video game Bethesda made is in any way comparable to the reality reflected in the arts is just staggering to behold. I imagine these peculiar statements he makes are purposefully crafted, and they never fail to further engagement.

@@BriteRoryGet over it, its a weak, flaccid game, with only current impact on a weak and troubles market. Man up

I don't know how many people worked on Star field but it feels like a different team handled each mechanic and they kind of just duct taped them all together without seeing how well they worked or something because the ideas are there but it just doesn't work in this game. You can see and feel the potential but I don't know it's just not fun

Which "AA" project?

​@@NatrajChaturvediI think he means the outer worlds

After the initial disaster release of No Man's Sky, the devs knuckled down for years to fix their reputation, meanwhile, Todd's on a beach somewhere while modders fix everything in Starfield.

​@@kamurotetsu4860Even modders are giving up on Starfield. Unfixable they claim. Imagine this! 😲

Heh maybe they are doing a speedrun "which one of us can lose our fanbase the quickest"

No, it's almost like people are fucking stupid and buy millions of copies of the laziest trash imaginable

don't generalise lmao it's Xbox and Bethesda that are dog shit. There are more enough good AAA games coming out

Its so stupid that even the biggest factions only have one city they don't even have the full planet colonised.

Uhm they have like 15 mega developed planets with 5 huge cities etc etc.. You ppl know nothing about Starfield..

@@dusermiginte4647 someone got into the crack cupboard again.

​@@dusermiginte4647 where are these 15 mega developed planets

@@dusermiginte4647 "mega developed"? You can't be serious. Compared to the Fallouts or Elder Scrolls? This game COULD have been great. It just isn't.

The Outer Worlds managed to make planetary exploration fun with barely half a dozen planets.

@@TheMarcHicks yeah loved that game.

Fully explore as in explore the entire planet? Because even If the game had one planet, If the were to make It fully explorable they would have to use procedural generation

Modders can probably team up and make clusters of content dense locations. Maybe flesh out the cities more. So you would have a lot of things to do in those places.

Open Skyrim was a thing, so they could probably cut out a lot of loading screens too. Fiddle with enemy AI to make it not so braindead, maybe introduce some ACTUAL weapon variety. Oh, and replicate SkyUI in the form of StarUI. That's probably the biggest one tbh.

A lot of mods are just as buggy or more so than the actual game itself and other don't integrate with one another. Some small, standalone mods are great, but the bigger and more complex they become the more likely they become unstable and inoperable with others. THIS is not the solution going forward.

I assume the modders will put more actual locations/points of interests on the planets.

It is quite refreshing seeing i'm not alone too

It's mostly ageing millennials who just want to wrap themselves in the warm comfy nostalgia blanket of that janky role playing game they played in college.

@@seedywriter Lol, no! We've all been saying Bethesda has been going downhill since Morrowind. It's you Zoomers who've only played Skyrim or Fallout 4 that are fan girling this shit.

@seedywriter Aging millennial with aging millenia friends here, we mostly share the same opinion. Bethesda has lost the magic.

​@@turboeditFacts. Morrowind was the peak for sure. FO3 was pretty good, Skyrim had it's problems but was still great, New Vegas is fantastic but isn't really Bethesda. Everything since has been progressively worse with each release.

Yeah that was one of the most ridiculous things I have experienced in a game.

As someone who's been DMing D&D for 20 years, I laughed so hard at that section, it's the most game thing I've seen in forever. You'd be surprised by how many players I've had think charisma is almost literally magic. I've unironically had one player tell me he wanted to roll diplomacy to convince a King to hand over his kingdom. When I told him it's impossible, and that I wasn't going to let him try, he got extremely upset.

Yea it can be like that too in starfield, following the missions it's easy to get side tracked by side missions that pop up as you go through many of the places it takes you to.

the game is awesome. Don’t let this guy prevent you from buying

@@NetraAmorosiBut not while exploring. You're not off, trekking across the wilderness, stumbling across a cave, which has a sidequest inside it, etc.

@@Idontlikeumfs Sure. For me personally I have thoroughly enjoyed the questing in game. This is not a space simulation game, it’s an RPG, and boy is it a good one. I really don’t think the technology is there to have seem-less transitions on and off of planets without taking hits in other areas of the game. Even so, the heart behind the quests is still there all the same. The weapons are very diverse, the spaceship building is intricate and unique, and even the outpost building is detailed. I know there are loading screens, but Bethesda still captured the wonder of space very well in my opinion. I enjoy the lore behind it all as well. You can really dive in to the United Colonies and the development of the galaxy since the exodus from earth. Those are some of my personal thoughts. I truly have no understood the dislike from people. MOST of it has come from people who haven’t played the game, or have only played a small portion of the game.

I played for 20 hours straight without continuing past the first main mission of Starfield, I'm 80 hours in and haven't done much of the main quest still.

Also similar to older assasins creed No mans sky warping And probably more

Their engine theyve been using for decades sucks and they refuse to use a new one.. Bethesda is dead to me

​@@johnnyflannigan136gotta love the gamebryo engine with updates duct taped to it lmao

They literally do it in a Crimson Fleet mission and it was so annoying seeing what could have been!

Star wars jedi survivor literally did this. Bethesda was just lazy

Crazy that even andromeda at least had intelligent life forms other than humans. It’s so weird and unnatural seeing human settlements everywhere to me

Lol all I kept seeing was sorry my face is tired.

I had this same experience! So many people lied with the "OH IT GETS SO GOOD AFTER 40 HOURS" bullshit. If anything, the game peaks in the 20-40 hour range IMO, then when you're overpowered, have the best gear, etc, and have finished the very few actually worthwhile questlines, there's nothing there but a goofy as shit and poorly written main story and endless procedurally generated empty planets/fetch quests. I was expecting some good late/end game stuff and there was NOTHING to fucking do after 60 hours except dick around with activities/mmo style quests or land on bullshit planets and gather resources so I can spend them on weapons and bases I don't need!

TDIL its not the dragonborn Its the starborn. No wonder the fans keep getting mad, I'm using the wrong extremely trite title!

Wait, you're onto something. The Starborn you encounter looking for more artifacts are just them looking and hoping for non bugged temples! The story is deeper than I thought 11/10 Starfield.

Yep. Mines bugged. Twice now

Look up the people who made this game.tells you all you need to know

This, but I also feel like they werent bored because it was an extraordinary feat that an immense amount of planning went into. In starfield, travelling to another planet is like taking an uber to mcdonalds.
